Good Day Family!

Morning inspiration!

Here is a clip of 5 of some of the greatest moments in Olympic history.

It’s not what you thought right? These are no world records. Or podium moments. The reason why they are great is because it embodies the purpose of athletics.

People will respect your medals, and sympathize your strugglea, but are IMPACTED by your victories over struggle. The Jamaican bobsled team was made fun of back then, but how many coaches are now pursing former and current track sprinters to man their sleds?  That was Ethiopia’s FIRST gold in the marathon. How many more have they gotten on the world stage in endurance events now?

What needs to be put in the spotlight is as these athletes went through this, IT SUCKED! They were devasted. But what they could not see is the harvest that came out of the empty field they saw before them in the form of empty trophy cases and no podiums. They had no idea that these moments would spark inspiration of a small nation everyone slept on, the kid that was born with cerebral palsy, or the man who the doctors said would never walk again after a life altering accident. Or the Sidwell student that feels the pressures of the world on their shoulders that wonders if they can be successful in all arenas, that thinks “what if I fail?”, “what if I let them down?”. Or the coach that had 6 years worth of season ending and devastating injuries0 that wondered if she was strong enough to pick herself up and help empower the next generation using the very unforgiving platform that left her “defeated”.

One last thing about struggles. At the end of the day, they had their non negotiables and picked themselves up. That’s because they realized life doesn’t happen to you, IT HAPPENS FOR YOU! Sometimes it goes beyond your personal goals. YOUR STRUGGLES ARE NOT JUST ABOUT YOU! OOPS! Your struggles are what prepares you to help others, because true sustainable wealth (beyond dollar signs) comes from helping others. You may not see your harvest, but just know you are planting seeds every day you decide you are worth getting out of bed, and that is true LEGACY!

What are your non negotiables? What seeds are you planting in order to walk in YOUR TRUE LEGACY!?!?
